Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 903

Where in the Bible does it speak sanctity of marriage & if only having sex with spouse only & no other.

I am a new believer and I am asking for any reading suggestions thanks.

King James and Strong's is all I use. Been studying scripture, cover to cover, for well over a decade. Jer. 17 speaks of the Sabbath. You are claiming that is speaking of a thousand year period instead of the 7th Day Sabbath which is what the Bible is referring to there. There is no mention anywhere there of a 1,000 year period. By default, you are claiming that the days of Creation were thousand year periods as well which is not Biblical. Each day statement ends with the word day, regardless of the 'evening and morning' comment. ... the first Day, ... the second Day, etc. Not 1,000 year periods of time. Leviticus 23:32 makes plain what God intended to convey with the Creation week account. The Sabbath was taken from than account ( Gen. 2:2-3) and the Lev. verse tells us it is one 24 hr day.

Proverbs 1 says nothing about a 1,000 year period.

James 5, as well, says nothing at all about a 1,000 yr period of time. The only possible reference there is to the return of Christ and maybe the Wrath of God. Neither of which contain a 1,000 yr period of time. Matthew 24:29-31 presents the one and only return of Jesus and details many of the beginnings of the destruction of the earth at that very time. Millennium doctrine does not allow for destruction of the earth until after the 1,000 years. It is not supported by scripture anywhere outside of Rev. 20:1-7 which is symbolic or takes place in the spirit, not literal/physical. Isaiah 13:9-11 supports the same as Mt. 24:29-31.

2 Tim. 2 does not mention any 1,000 yr period of time. There is no support of the Mil. The only verse that could come close is 2:12 about 'reigning with Him.' That is not a reference to a Mil. time period, it is a reference to 1 Cor. 6:17 - our spirit being joined to the Lord at this very moment if we are 'IN' Christ

Please post 'specific' verses or passages if you wish to continue so that we can get right down to Hebrew/Greek 'word meanings' if necessary. Posting entire chapters is a waste of time.

Great, thanks; appreciate you.

Revelation 20:4

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[This is what I learned about the 144,000 Jewish Evangelists; who are virgins.]

A close study of Revelation Rev. 12:1+ suggests that the faithful REMNANT ON EARTH which shall be protected throughout the Tribulation and find entry into the Millennial Kingdom are those who flee to the wilderness-the woman who has a place prepared for her by God ( Rev. 12:6+). We saw that the 144,000 of Israel, who appear to have an evangelistic role, could not be a part of those kept in the wilderness. Because of their evangelistic mission, they will not be in Judea when the signal comes to flee to the mountains and subsequently the wilderness. Furthermore, if they did participate in the flight and subsequent hiding, how could they perform their evangelistic task among the Gentiles and Jews of the Diaspora?

Nowhere is it said that the seal which these receive is to protect them against death throughout the Tribulation and from all causes. Scripture only tells us they are to be protected from the direct effects of God's judgments poured upon the earth. This is why the four winds of the earth are held back until they are sealed ( Rev. 7:1-3+). Judgments upon the earth, the sea, and the trees may not proceed until they are protected. Moreover, they are said to be protected from the demonic locust judgment ( Rev. 9:4+). All of these dangers come directly from God and represent His wrath upon the earth dwellers. They are to be protected from this "friendly fire" during their evangelistic mission. Does this necessarily mean that they are completely invincible for the entire duration of the Tribulation? If the example of the two powerful witnesses of God is any example, then perhaps not.

These are those who will evangelize people Left Behind after the Caught Up (Rapture); Who hid out in the hills and caves to avoid the Mark of the Beast or execution.

I'm saying AVOID DEATH and receive Jesus as Lord, Savior, LIFE ETERNAL__TODAY.

Thanks so much Richard . I really appreciate your time and effort with these Isaiah posts . Just because you don't get much feed back please don't think you are wasting your time because you are definately not . I love the Old Testament and you have shed a bright light on one of my favourite books in it . Can I request ? Zechariah next ? Please ? Yes , I am cheeky .

Hello this is the worst I have heard or in this case, read today. Would you please impose the death sentence who turn some people into murderers?

No human can control life and death. Yes, they will, but have mercy on them.

Only God. He has created all things and can send destruction, yes. Like in Proverbs 16.9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

We have been given the keys to so much in the spiritual world. Tie the various witch doctors on the run! Why do you think Jesus came to earth? Too kill? Or to give life. As long as life exists in a human being, it is always willing to and could change!

The hope we have is Teachers, who are willing to learn from the Scriptures. Matthew16.19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

But I can agree that the different countries that stand up for the Lord. Will always be blessed lands. They can if the circumstances will it overflow of milk and honey. This is where the Prime Ministers and the Royals come in. What a country recognizes by. They are subject to God.



The countries that recognize Jesus as the Son of God. Blessed with food and water. Small earthquakes and floods. But the earth has been depleted by humans and many years change over time. But do we not see the blessings we who call ourselves Christians in a Christian country?

Do not kill. It does not help. So something is good in the new age when we understand what guidelines we have with Jesus Christ the Son of God.

I can share with you in the scripture today Mark chapters 9 and 10. There we can read about hard hearts.

God bless u and yours in Jesus Holy Name.

Hello Florence. We're not told anymore about Delilah in Judges chapter 16. After she found out the secret to Samson's strength, hence him being blinded & put in prison, we don't know what she did or even if she went to visit him in prison. But we do know that when the Philistines gathered for a huge party in honour of their god, that a large company of people were in the main hall as well as partying on the rooftop ( Judges 16:27). I wonder whether Delilah was amongst the party-goers as she played such an important part in Samson's downfall? So we can't say for sure, but she may have died with Samson & the thousands of others when Samson in his last act of strength, brought the roof down on them.

Hi Walter. As you might appreciate, countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. didn't exist in Jesus' day. These countries (& others) were all part of a large area referred to as Scythia. And this area stretched from today's Kazakhstan in the East through the Ural & Volga regions, onto eastern Ukraine.

For added information, if interested, the Scythians were a nomadic people but quite fierce & warlike, often conducting raids into the southern areas (below the Black & Caspian seas). Maybe, that's why the Apostle Paul referred to them in Colossians 3:11 when declaring the comparison between Jew & Greek, those of the circumcision & uncircumcised, Barbarian (primitive/uncivilized), Scythian (warlike), & those in bondage (slaves) & the free. He was trying to cover the whole range of people groups, no matter who they were & what their beliefs & culture, that IN Christ they (& we) can all be one.

Hi Denise. To your first question: Deuteronomy 19:14, "Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it."

You may need to give more information on your second question (unless someone here is aware of a verse). The only one that comes to mind is a very general command and is found in Leviticus 19:18, "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."

Hi Richard. Could you be thinking of Aquila & his wife, Priscilla ( Acts 18:2,3; Acts 18:24-26)?

Hi Cecil. I suppose it would be difficult, at least for me, to continue, given your understanding of these Scriptures, since our views are different on those you've cited.

Isaiah chapter 47 is about Babylon & the Chaldeans (Babylon's inhabitants). I don't see America or any other country in that chapter, nor anywhere else in the Bible. I don't say that the nations will not play a major part in the end times, but Isaiah doesn't show it. Indeed, the wicked acts in that chapter might be common to all nations, but to state any specific country other than what is given, would be unwise for me to do.

Luke 21:20-24 when Jerusalem will compassed with armies, is sometimes connected with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, though of course there will be other calamities during Anti-Christ's rule. And we know that Jerusalem has been invaded several times with many suffering & fleeing. But verse 24 I believe is the key: "Jerusalem will be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." 1948 might have been a special year for Israel but not the end of the matters in the Bible. We are presently in those times of the Gentiles, whether for the gathering in of those still to be saved or even of Gentile powers against Israel. But when that time ends, Christ comes with His angelic forces to overthrow all who have opposed Israel. Yes, Israel will suffer, as they have throughout their history, but God in mercy, will still hold His Promise true & those who survive these destructions & those yet to be saved in Israel, will indeed know the salvation of God & His Christ.

Yep, me too!

What that will actually be like for you or me is really in the Lord's hands as to our sphere of influence and opportunities to disciple others. For me, my focus is really our three sons, now in their thirties, who all tuned from the faith in their late teens. I am persevering in prayer for them, hoping for opportunities to share about Jesus, asking for God to send people to them who will share about Jesus, bring them wives that will love the Lord and help my sons return to the Lord.

I am pretty much staying at home since the pandemic began because of health factors which can make a covid infection very harmful to me. I am being cautious. Glad that I can be home to enable me to avoid gathering with people. My husband works from home, so I have company during the day at intervals. We get together as a family a few times a month. I see a few friends who have had covid or been vaccinated like me. I do trust the Lord in all of this. But just like I avoid other triggers for my asthma, I can avoid exposure to respiratory viruses now that I am not working and around people who can infect me. I haven't faired well with flu and cold viruses, so I know to be wise in this time. We pack a lunch and go on long drives, stop to eat at a scenic beach or park and then head back home. That works for me. haven't gone stir crazy yet!

But being off work has allowed me more than ever to digest God's Word and I am so glad to find it online. This website has been helpful to me. I have been here just a few months. Have a good evening. We will most likely interact more over time. Thank you for your reply.

Hello Diana, Welcome!

It sounds to me that you are a new Christian. Is that right? If you want to grow closer to Jesus, I suggest that you begin reading the gospels books in the New Testament-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books tell us about the life and words of Jesus when He lived on earth. He is our Savior and our God. We get to know Him in the writings of the Bible.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. We here try to help those who have questions. This is a good place to get answers.

Donna,

The practice of the early church at the end of the first century (just following the apostles) was to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and at other times, as in Acts, in the name of Jesus. so, the Catholic Church did not come into existence until 500 or 600 A.D. Therefore, the Catholic Church did not change the way people were baptized. The early church followed the instructions of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 and this practice has remained the norm across the centuries. For me, I just can't argue with the instructions of our Lord Jesus in Scripture.

Hello Carlton,

Good to see you back on the board. Blessings to you tonight!

Good evening friends. The Kingdom of Peace in God is present today.

Christian blessings!

Can you site any evidence supporting the claim that the father son Holy Spirit Trinity baptism was changed by the Catholic Church? Or is it merely speculation and a rumor?

Hello ,my name is diana ,i live minnestioa was looking knowing off god to closer to know bible. to start learning keep myself .to know veres. to know what god is all about.my time and effort im gratefull to know that im child off god .knew about the lord littley to know what the meaning effort to be close to lord jesus christ our savor

Hi Theresa,

Jesus taught us many things while on this earth, including why we need to be baptized, and exactly how we need to perform the baptisim.

Matthew 3:16

"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:"

Yes, Jesus was submerged.

Matthew 28:19

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

If we are Christ followers, we will listen to His instructions, and follow Jesus.

Regarding your question about Matthew 3:11 John the Baptist is stating that: he (Jesus) shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"

On the day of Pentecost, after His resurection, Jesus did send the Holy Spirit to baptize believers and the evidence of the Holy Spirit that day is found in Acts 2:3-4 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them." "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."

So, I believe that John the Baptists reference to fire in Matthew 3:11 may have referred to the future purification that would come with Christ's baptism as observed above, with the cloven tongues like of fire in conjunction with receiving the Holy Spirit during Pentecost.

Hope this helps, and God bless.

Thanks, SolaScrip.

I take the Millenium to be literal

I'm sure some will be happy to discuss this topic, And by the way, great topic! I also will join in later.

Enjoying the grand kids at the moment.

God bless.

Donna,

I'd tell the baby Christian what Jesus said when he was asked the same question. He said 2 things 1) love God with all your heart and 2) love your neighbor like yourself.



Once you know these two things you can move on to discovery. Do not take another's word about what happened in the Bible without looking into it yourself. Allow the Bible to define itself. The Internet offers basic education, nothing I believe about the future can be found on the Internet.

I'll try to report it like your favorite news caster. The problem is it's neither sweet in your mouth, nor sweet in your belly. That means it's hard medicine to bear. No one wants to believe it, that America will be taken.

So long.... ask any question and I'll answer it. I'll be real nice, you'll see.

No offense taken. Just wanted to be clear that I was here for a no-nonsense, impersonal, discussion of the facts of The Word.

I pray that you will look into some of what I presented. It is very important for Christians to see through all of the false doctrine that is being foisted upon us from every side these days.

Acts 20:28-31

God bless.

Thank you, GiGi. I think I agree with all of what you said and I'm not that far behind you in years. Done with the vast majority of nonsense in life and ready to be dedicated to the Lord, and the defense of His Word, for the remainder of my days.

God bless.

With this plague (fie and hail) Pharaoh speaks to Moses and says that he had sinned, that YHWH is righteous, and that the Egyptians are wicked. He said he would release the Israelites if Moses would make the fire and hail stop. But we see that Pharaoh was a manipulator and thought he could manipulate Moses AND YHWH. After Moses causes the hail and fire to stop, Pharaoh rescinds his words. It seems that Pharaoh may have had a hint of humility before YHWH but not enough to cause him to truly repent. He must have thought he could outsmart YHWH. And so, his heart was hardened even more. Instead of allowing his heart to be softened, YHWH squeezed Pharaoh's heart to push out more and more any sense of repentance or mortification before YHWH, along with any honor, respect, or reverence Pharaoh may have had towards YHWH after these plagues. Pharaoh just became more prideful, more arrogant, and more contrary to YHWH.

This is what happens to people who fight against God; who denounce Him; who resist Him; who do not esteem Him. their hearts become hardened by their deliberate opposition to God.
